Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Sep 17, 2007 10:54pm PDTHello everyone, hope the day finds you all well. The TF2 beta unlocked last night after a few hiccups, so I haven't played it but we have this rather comprehensive discussion for everyone. Good Wii news today too, with online play confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Remo placates my need for a Wii Sports sequel with this talk of Table Tennis. That'll do pig. That'll do.

Anyone else getting this? Shackhype for it has been pretty low-key, which is kinda sad. It's an absolute blast in MP, even for people who (like me) suck at more traditional RTS games.

Hey Shack - Tell me 'bout the Good 'ole Days!
I joined in March 2003, four and a half years ago, but based on the # of long time postrers, I feel like I missed out on several years of funny.
So, what was the shack like before:
* I love teh cock
*[lol]
*bling1bling
*post+username was bannable
*philsized
*genjuro The Baron

I would like to thank PBRMeASAP, cigam, and tromblyj for the smiles as you kill me. I am a little disappointed that the game turned out the way it did, but I am still in love with it. The game just absolutely just OOOOOOZES style. Everything seems to flow so well. Once the maps are learned and some organized play comes out the game is going to be awesome. I cannot wait until October. Bravo, Valve, bravo.
I want my normal grenades back :(

I installed Windows Vista Ultimate via BootCamp last night. After It finished (downloading windows updates all night, hehe) I rebooted to get back to OSX. I got a screen upon bootup that said "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds orpress the Reset button."
I get this message whenever I try to reboot into the Mac partition and even when I try to boot from the OSX Install DVD.. I have tried resetting the PRAM, and that did not help. The only thing that boots is Vista.. go figure.. halp??

egg5hen pointed out a bug that I fixed with a little trim() action. I also made an attempt at speeding up the script with some regular expression optimizations, but nothing major.

This is the thread where we post the shack TF2 server addresses, and assume they use the standard password.
that way people won't have to keep waiting for a spot in the steam channel.

I need to count how many times I can divide a number by a base until the quotient is less than the base. I tried using a for loop and exiting when the quotient is less than the base but the quotient always starts out as 0 unless I made it a huge number artificially. Thoughts?

I'm sure most of you have seen Gattaca, if not, it's about a future society where parents have the choice to genetically alter their children before birth. Geneticists work with the genes provided by the parents to create the children, nothing outside is grafted on. In the words of the Geneticist in the movie, "He'll still be you, just the best of you". Suppose this were available starting tomorrow. Society as we know it is unchanged as of yet. The Geneticists offer 3 upgrades.
1) Removal of all genetic disorders that would lead to life threatening diseases and ailments.
2) Removal of genetic conditions that hinder an optimal life. Ailments such as nearsightedness, facial and body asymmetries, premature balding, obesity, substance addiction etc. etc.
3) Selection of physical traits that do not improve health. Height, hair color, muscle density, breast size, hip width, penis size, etc.
Questions:
1) would you visit the Geneticists before conceiving?
2) which plans would you want for your child?
3) would you be willing to borrow money to pay for such alterations? What if the cost for level 1 was $25,000, level 2 was $80,000 and 3 was $250,000? They'll have financing available on site with relatively low interests, say much like a college student loan.

Very awesome looking, back to R&C:UYA or :GC type gameplay. Very very pretty looking, though while there's no graphical slowups it feels, at times, like I'm moving underwater, just slow and slightly unresponsive enough to be annoying. However, I need to check against PS2 versions.. I believe that's how its always been (and not like Insomniac to change the formula...)
